<< Karen is correct in that ground oyster shell is not a substitute for
 granite grit that we use as a seed topping.  See my article on grit at:
 http://www.anet-chi.com/~manytimes/page41.htm
 However, the finest grade of granite grit is too large for topping very
 fine seeds.  What many growers do is to sow the finest seeds on top
 of the grit, then cover the seeds with a very fine layer of white silica sand
 to wash them in.

Wow!  I was hoping that someone would finally jump in and give a detailed
answer.  I will certainly look up your article re: grits.  This is what e-mail
is really great for!  Thanks  Donna Adams in Detroit
